tenant: More Scam Issues - 06/26/09 01:35 PM
I just received another call from a tenant who was called by a young woman professing to represent the owner of the property.  She asked for access to the property.   I immediately contacted the owner and, as normal, the owner had not authorized any such access, or requested that anyone contact the tenant.   It's prudent to let our owner's know that they need to come to us for access to any homes we manage.  It's prudent that every tenant be notified that if we don't call them first to tell them they will be contacted by a designated representative, and that … (1 comments)
